The project &#8216;Securing Edu\u2019Mind&#8217; was implemented by the third-year undergraduates of the Department of Business Administration with the aim of upgrading the current standards of the classrooms. The need for the project was identified after a participatory planning session with the stakeholders of the school and village. Therefore, the project team planned to upgrade the conditions of two classrooms in order to create a good environment for studies. Accordingly, the mesh coverings were fixed for the selected classrooms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Situation prior to the project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
